What's the name of:

Edit: I don't think my picture is coming up. It's the one here

Further edit: That link's not working either.

It's a mini-movie called For The Birds by Pixar Animation. It's really cute and one of my favourites but I don't think they have names.

Sorry, possible--just saw your comment from months ago. I love that short! Found the names of the birds here. Feel free to add them to the list!

I never knew there were so many named fictional birds! This list = awesome.

Would you consider distelfinks to be fictitious?

I just added Daffy Duck and Uncle Scrooge (I'm working on a duck--1 list).

Why, that's just ducky! And to answer your earlier question: Yes, distelfinks are fictitious. At least I hope they are.

Darkwing Duck: cartoon caper. Infamous "let's get dangerous" tag line. Relative of Scrooge & Donald.

Little Red Rooster: not a cartoon but popular blues song, covered by Rolling Stones, Sam Cooke and many others.

Rockin' Robin: fantastic song by Jackson Five about fictious robin.

Not sure songs about birds fit this list. I'll remove if not.

Hi, Bonvivant. Darkwing and Rockin' Robin are already on this list, so no worries. I'll add Little Red Rooster if you'll post your comment on the word page for it. :-)

Kalayzich: Do you mean Kehaar (Watership Down)? If so, it's on the list. I'll add the Harry Potter birds as well. The two Potters that I know have actual names are Hawkes (phoenix) and Hermes. If you can think of any others, let me know. Thanks!
